Checking for flights to Charlotte:
The fact that infielder/outfielder Brent Lillibridge was in the clubhouse before the White Sox’ game Thursday against the New York Yankees wasn’t a good sign. But things got better when the Sox told Lillibridge their emergency was over and he could board the next plane back to Class AAA Charlotte. That meant the tests done on the right ankle of injured shortstop Alexei Ramirez came back negative and Ramirez wouldn’t be going on the 15-day disabled list.
